An artist has the potential to create infinite artworks but only some of them will see the light due to the constraint of time.

EXACTLY!
What if we use technology to outsource the creation of art so more of these potential artworks are finally created?

Erm.. Maybe?

After looking at the photos for a while: This is a neat effect. I could see it being a phone app or something. I don't know that a potentially infinite set of these photos brings something additional to the table...posted by dubold at 11:44 AM on July 29, 2013

Can someone please pinpoint the exact moment when "selfie" ("selfy?") entered the lexicon?

According to Know Your Meme, "selfy" was used as early as 2004 on Flickr. "Selfy" was first submitted to Urban Dictionary on 22 April 2005; "selfie" was added on 22 July 2009. "Selfie" was also included in Jim Krause's November 2005 Photo Idea Index.

In other words, it's been around a lot longer than I thought -- I've only heard it personally within the last year.posted by Annie Savoy at 12:47 PM on July 29, 2013 [2 favorites]
